Fuel taxes have become an issue in the Idaho governor's race. While a task force works on transportation funding issues for a post-election report, one candidate has jumped on its preliminary findings.rnDemocrat Keith Allred says, "Car and pickup truck drivers have been subsidizing the heavy trucking industry." He proposes cutting the gas tax for motorists, with heavy trucks paying a significantly larger share. Governor C.L Otter, a Republican, replied, ""I can understand wanting to have the perfect solution in a campaign cycle, but the bottom line is the task force has not completed its work. We need to respect its bipartisan process."
